[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 459638, member: 64443"] Some might say it is a cliche, but the Eastern Cape really is the hotbead of black rugby in SA, and if there is anywhere in SA where a region is not represented at the pro level for what it truely should be, it is the Eastern Province. Such a large potential player base as well, their schools have produced more class players and Boks than KZN has, and up until the 1990's the region was by far the more important of the two regions rugby wise. There are those that say that none of the Big 5 can be relegated from the premier division because of their financial importance to the union. EP has the potential to be at least the third largest rugby province behind Gauteng and Western Cape, both in terms of player numbers and fan base. So I say poo poo to the notion that none of the bigger unions can be relegated, there are enough big fish to fill the pond if one was reeled out. Back to this game, Boland have given them a right humping in areas, others they have hard done by by Mr. van de Merwe. 28-7 to Boland at 67 mins. Fairly even first half, Kings got two yellows, first was harsh, second deserved. [/QUOTE]
